Surface Preparation
Read entire label before using. Use only as directed. Always test in a small inconspicuous area with a 24-hour cure time to determine ease of application and desired results. Allow new grout installations to cure fora minimum of 72 hours prior to application. Make sure surface is clean, dry and free of waxes and coatings. Surface temperature should be between 35°F - 90°F (2 – 32°C). Keep children and pets out of the area until surface use resumes.
Directions
- Mask off any surfaces not intended to be treated.
- Liberally apply an even coat of STONETECH® Salt Water Resistant Sealer with a bristle paint brush or paint roller.
- Allow sealer to penetrate the surface for 15–20 minutes. During this time, distribute excess sealer over entire area to ensure even penetration. Do not allow sealer to pool on the surface. Do Not Allow Excess Sealer to Dry on The Surface.
- Thoroughly wipe the entire surface with a clean dry cloth to completely remove all excess sealer from the surface.
- For protection against de-icing salts, a second coat is recommended and should be applied 15-20 minutes after the initial application as directed in steps 2-4.
- The sealer should be fully cured prior to water contacting the surface. Full cure is achieved in 72 hours. If there is a possibility of rain within the 72 hour cure time, cover surface so it remains dry.
- Clean tools used during application with water.
- If resistance to oily stains is also desired, apply STONETECH BulletProof® Sealer after Salt Water Resistant Sealer has fully cured.
Expected Wear
- Up to 5 years on exterior surfaces around salt water pools
- 1 year for protection against de-icing salt
- Maintenance
Highly alkaline, acidic, ammoniated, or abrasive cleaners are not necessary for daily maintenance and may also degrade the STONETECH sealer used, adversely affecting stain resistance. Tile and stone routine cleaning with a neutral pH cleaner such as STONETECH Stone & Tile Cleaner is recommended. For tough or difficult to remove soil use STONETECH KlenzAll™ Cleaner, a nylon scrubbing pad or a long handled stiff bristle brush. Please note: Prior to using any cleaning material on a tile, stone, etc. installation, test a discrete area or scrap piece of tile to insure desired results
